ioBroker adapter for Tesla vehicle and energy site control via Teslemetry
ioBroker adapter for controlling Tesla vehicles and energy sites via the Teslemetry API.
Before installing this adapter, you need:
cd /opt/iobroker
npm install iobroker.teslemetry
Real-time Streaming (recommended)
Polling Mode
By default, all vehicles and energy sites in your Tesla account are included. You can optionally filter:
Leave these fields empty to include all devices.
The adapter creates a hierarchical state structure for each device:

Tesla vehicles enter sleep mode after a period of inactivity to conserve battery. This adapter is designed to respect sleep mode:
To manually wake a vehicle:
setState('teslemetry.0.vehicles.YOUR_VIN.commands.wake', true);

Solutions:
Problem: API errors about rate limits
Solutions:
Q: Is this free to use? A: The adapter is free and open-source. Teslemetry API access may have different pricing tiers.
Q: Will this drain my vehicle battery? A: No. The adapter respects sleep mode and won't wake the vehicle for data updates. Only commands will wake the vehicle.
Q: Can I control multiple vehicles? A: Yes! The adapter automatically discovers all vehicles and energy sites in your Tesla account.
Q: Does this work with Tesla Fleet API? A: Yes, Teslemetry provides access to the Tesla Fleet API, which is what this adapter uses.
Q: What's the difference between streaming and polling? A: Streaming provides real-time updates as they happen. Polling checks for updates at fixed intervals. Streaming is more efficient and responsive.
This adapter is part of the Teslemetry TypeScript monorepo.
